MATRC 2017 Telehealth Summit: Quality and Innovation in Health Care
2017-04-02 - 2017-04-04 | Lansdowne Resort and Spa, 44050 Woodridge Parkway, Leesburg, VA, 20176, United States
How do we reduce costs and increase value, improve patients’ experiences and outcomes, apply and integrate new technologies into clinical practice, and create greater access to quality healthcare? These goals require us to focus on both quality and innovation at the same time, but can we have both? Quality involves adherence to standards, application of best practices and the elimination of errors. Innovation on the other hand requires creativity. It demands a willingness to try new ideas and to experiment with out of the box thinking. It requires resources devoted to projects that have not been tested and may or may not succeed. Telehealth technologies offer the promise of improving what we are currently doing, but also opens the door for finding new and better ways to do it. What does continuous quality and process improvement look like in telehealth? How can we be successful combining innovation with quality improvement? How do we manage new ideas, effectively test them, develop processes to evaluate them and establish mechanisms for continuous quality monitoring? Join us at the 2017 MATRC Telehealth Summit where we will take a closer look at these questions and more in the areas of behavioral health, population health, specialty and subspecialty care and telehealth technology.

E-Signatures & Digital Onboarding for Your Healthcare Organization
2017-03-09 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago)
There’s no way around it – the senior care and healthcare industries are document-intensive, involving countless forms and agreements that often require signatures. Despite continuous investments in electronic health record (EHR) technology, many providers still default to paper simply to capture a signature – diminishing productivity and ultimately impacting the quality of care.
For this reason, healthcare and senior care organizations of all sizes are moving to fully digital resident/patient onboarding, including electronic signatures. As a result, they no longer chase paperwork and ultimately improve quality of care by eliminating error-prone manual data entry.
Join this 60-minute HIMSS webcast to learn best practices and requirements for a secure digital onboarding. Key topics will include:
• How e-signatures & EHR work together
• Digital adoption trends among senior care and healthcare organizations
• E-signature standards & HIPAA Compliance
• Options for getting started quickly
This webcast will also feature a live demonstration from PointClickCare, showing how e-signatures for resident onboarding have been integrated into their EHR platform.

Rural Hospital + RHC Workshop: Practicing Lifestyle Medicine in the Rural Health Clinic
2017-02-24 09:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | The Mississippi Rural Health Association, 31 Woodgreen Place, Madison, MS, 39110, United States
Practicing Lifestyle Medicine in the Rural Health Clinic
Presenter: Getty Israel, MPH, Public Health Practitioner and Author, When Poor Was Healthy
By 2020, two-thirds of all chronic disease worldwide will be the result of lifestyle choices. Currently, the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Mississippi are lifestyle related: poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, tobacco use, and overconsumption of alcohol. Yet, most medical providers in the State fail to prescribe any more than a prescription drug. The Mississippi medical provider can play a crucial role in assisting patients that have hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease or who are at risk of developing these conditions to prevent and in many instances reverse these conditions by encouraging and directing them to make lifestyle changes that will reduce the risk of developing a condition or worsening it.
The all-day seminar is designed to change your competence and performance-in-practice by increasing your knowledge of Lifestyle Medicine and helping you develop strategies to incorporate it into patient care, providing the newest science of nutrition, physical activity, and management skills. The course will focus on effectively counseling your patients to improve their overall lifestyle, including stress management, diet, and exercise. Participants who complete the seminar will receive a certificate of completion from Pathway to Wellness, LLC.
Reasons to Attend:

Incorporating lifestyle medicine into your current practice
Leveraging lifestyle medicine to prevent and treat type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, osteoporosis, and certain cancers
Current and Coming Reimbursement Opportunities
The strategies that produce the best results for weight-loss counseling
Guidance to prescribe exercise and perform risk assessments
Health coaching (why it’s important to therapy)
Clinician self-care: Being a health role model
Getting patients to make healthy changes
Improving patient communication and motivational interviewing
Building an effective lifestyle medicine team
Engaging resistant patients
Effectively prescribing exercise or increased physical activity
